Hello fellow RPFers! First build thread in a while and also my first build from scratch(mostly). This year for Halloween my son and I are going as Batman and Robin(finally!!!)Cause, let's be real I've wanted to do this since I found out I was having a son. And while I will probably get a store bought costume with a few mods I've decided to build my son's Robin costume because I LOVE the new Rebirth costume .I've seen it drawn a couple different ways so I will be using a combination and taking the aspects I like best. Here's what I'll be using for reference.
I'll be going with the all yellow trim from the 1st and last pictures, with the shorter cape from the second picture and I prefer the boots with red laces in the 2nd and last pics.Especially since any foam armour I put on the legs will be destroyed in about 2 seconds with a hyperactive 8 yr old. I won't actually be using boots, but instead I will make boot covers that lace tight. I will keep the gloves armoured though, using crafting foam for both the armour and the fins.
The "R" symbol will be an iron on that I am getting from Amazon. The utility belt will also be from Amazon, but I will be modifying it slightly to match the buckle. And the kneepads will be some that he already has that I will paint. The black tights undersuit will be just some underarmour that he already has as well.
I am heading to the fabric store tomorrow and will start cutting it out soon thereafter. I will keep you posted.
1 question, for the gloves, what would be the best way to attach the foam to the gloves.
